Currently, the corps is made up entirely of commissioned officers in the specialist service officer/professionally qualified stream, although in the past the RAAEC has had some NCOs allocated to it. The majority of the corps' personnel are civil qualified teachers; however, additional information technology specialists have been laterally recruited to manage the computer-based learning packages within the Army Learning Production Centre.
Members of the RAAEC are posted to a number of locations including:
- Headquarters Forces Command – Army: Sydney;
- Army Learning Production Centre (ALPC): Sydney, Brisbane, Albury/Wodonga;
- Defence International Training Centre (DITC): Laverton, Victoria;
- Various major training establishments in Victoria, New South Wales, Canberra and Queensland;
- Individual training centres, located in every state;
- Some overseas locations, including positions as language advisors.
The current Colonel-in-Chief of the RAAEC is The Duchess of Gloucester. The current Head of the Corps is Colonel Debra Bradford.

“Our role is to support anything positive in black life and destroy anything negative that touches it. You have no other reason for being. I don’t understand art for art’s sake. Art is the guts of the people.”
—Elma Lewis (b. 1921)
“The verbal poetical texture of Shakespeare is the greatest the world has known, and is immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. With Shakespeare it is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play.”
